Altar Candles are burned during the liturgy or church service. Placed in candelabra or candlesticks upon or adjacent to the altar, they are burned with candle followers. Manufactured primarily of Beeswax and/or paraffin wax blends. Available in a wide variety of sizes, the most common diameters are 7/8", 1-1/2" and 2". Beeswax is a natural product produced by honeybees. These candles burn longer, cleaner and more even. They are more durable, burn consistent and fit better in candlestick sockets. Paraffin blend candles burn quicker, are less durable and have inconsistent burning characteristics. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please call us at 1-800-522-2688
